Front Rest/Support for Pistol Load Dev?

[Link]

Looking for 1 for load development with a 1911 and 22lr MK V,
I see these 2 on the net. I don't know if I want to clamp the grip, it might break it. What do you think oF These 2 or maybe someone here has 1 for sale?

Compact Shooting Rest

A shooting rest for shooters with limited bench space.

I would look at this one.
Probably want to add on the extra "Pistol Post" but this seems to be pretty well thought out and has other uses besides just pistols.

Not necessarily saying I'm doing it right, but since the early 70s I always just lay my wrists on an appropriate size sandbag so that no part of the pistol/revolver is touching anything. I feel that the contact points on the various "supported" rests give me false indications due to bounce, vibration and etc. that the supported wrist concept eliminates and more closely represents a field support position and reaction.

I've done it the same way forever also for sight in.

For load testing only, we used a Ranson Rest mounted on a concrete block to eliminate human error.

I use either my tall rear bag or a $50 collapsible rest I bought on Amazon. Here’s a pic.With my elbows resting on the bench, it’s very stable. In the pic, I was shooting my 10mm Glock at a 150 yard steel pig and scored 8 out of ten hits.

Yup!…and over $500! The one I use was $50. I guess if you want the best, ya gotta pay.

Ty for the reply's. I should have said I'm not going to spend much to use it a few times, with a couple of pistols. I did try a sandbag but blew a hole in it in 1 range trip lol.
PS I use a Farley on br.

The one I bought is multi use. It’s light and portable. Works great with ARs and lever guns. I give them out to new shooters as Christmas presents, too. It’s always in my range bag.

I agree, this is how I developed loads for Bullseye and IHMSA Pistol Silhouette shooting. Only your hands touch the gun. Support wrists on a sandbag.
